Headphone out specifications 1（3.5mm port）
Output power 1 ≥125mW（16Ω / THD+N＜1%) Output impedance ＜2Ω
Output power 2 ≥170mW（32Ω /THD+N＜1%) THD+N ＜0.002%（1kHz/32Ω）
Output power 3 ≥19mW（300Ω / THD+N＜1%) Separation ＞72dB
Frequency response 5Hz~80 kHz（-3dB） Peak output voltage 6.5Vp-p
SNR ≥118dB (A-weighted) Noise floor ＜5uV
Headphone out specifications 2（2.5mm port）
Output power 1 ≥125mW（16Ω / THD+N＜1%) Output impedance ＜2Ω
Output power 2 ≥195mW（32Ω /THD+N＜1%，balanced turbo off)
≥220mW（32Ω /THD+N＜1%，balanced turbo on) THD+N ＜0.002%（1kHz/32Ω）
Output power 3 ≥24mW（300Ω / THD+N＜1%，balanced turbo off)
≥77mW（300Ω / THD+N＜1%，balanced turbo on) Separation ＞98dB
Frequency response 5Hz~80 kHz（-3dB） Peak output voltage 7.07Vp-p
SNR ≥113dB (A-weighted) Noise floor ＜10uV

If these numbers are correct then power output is more than ok!

Here are the specs for X7II.

it seems quite low to me, my FiiO X5III pushes more power than M9.

What do you need all this power for? If you intend to drive 600 ohm headphones, a "normal" dap is probably not the right device. I can drive both Beyer Amiron and Aeon Open with the X7II in SE and I don't get past 80/120. Not saying that this is the best combination, but it's possible.

M9
Output power 2 ≥170mW（32Ω)

X7II
Output power 2 ≥150 mW（32Ω)

I'm going to be using the dap mostly for my B&O H6 when outside (they dont require much power so i know they're not the focus here.) what im gonna be using them more for is my DT1990 Pro's and Audeze LCD2C and potentially AKG K712Pro and possibly my friends Hifiman Sundara.

I'm looking at the new Cayin N5iiS and maybe the A&K AK70 MK II, A&norma SR15,or the AK100II.

its hard to find a DAP that can push all thoes headphones mentioned above (minus the B&O H6II) without going over 800$CND.. by a lot..

I believe the DX150 can do all those with different amps of course!

I dont want to have to amp swap i'd rather have one solid unit.

3. FiiO M9 Hi-Res Audio Player丨The Ultimate in Versatility

Inside the M9 is a high-performing A3P030 FPGA, ensuring your music is played back accurately by stabilizing digital clock signals. The FPGA also decodes DSD64/128 in hardware, which the M9 supports in ISO/DFF/DSF formats.

 

[thrgk]

Do you know when it will be available in the US and what sellers ?

Looks like a great player

I am also curious about a US release date.

 

[thrgk]

Yeah hopefully Amazon has it in the US like Amazon in the UK does on10/19

I am also curious about a US release date.

Do you know if the M9 can run/drive Hifiman Sundara, AKG K712 Pro, BeyerDynamic DT1990 Pro, Audeze LCD2C(classic) and Fostex th-900 mk2??
if it can, sold! lol i'll buy it asap.

 

[stephanemtl]

Based on the specs, the M9 looks fantastic: small, affordable, and capable of Tidal offline playing.

That being said, my experience with the X7, 1st gen, has taught me to be extremely cautious about initial claims made by Fiio, claims that are never realized even after two years of updates.

I hope the M9 will truly have (1) a reliable wifi, (2) an absence of audible wifi interference/noise when using Tidal online and (3) an absence of stuttering songs when using Tidal offline.

4. FiiO M9 Portable High-Resolution Audio Player丨The Ultimate in Versatility

The M9 uses Bluetooth 4.2 and supports all Bluetooth formats including the hi-res ones for your ultimate listening pleasure, including: 24bit aptX HD (also backwards compatible with aptX), LDAC, and HWA.

It will drive the Sundara fine. Even the N5ii manages with its 150mw/32ohm output.

5. FiiO M9 Hi-Res Audio Player丨The Ultimate in Versatility

The M9 contains both single-ended 3.5mm and balanced 2.5mm audio jacks. The M9 also supports in-line controls in both CTIA (common with Android headsets) and iOS headsets. (With iOS headsets, only play/pause is supported.)
